Introduction
OUR FRIENDS and patrons all over the world will be pleased to know that
they can again this year secure our wonderful new strains of Gladiolus.
It is a great pleasure during the flowering season each morning to walk
among thousands of new seedlings, never before bloomed, and watch for the rare
gems that now and then unfold new beauty. It is like finding a rare pearl or a
fine diamond.
For the coming season I am offering some choice new varieties which I hope
will merit your approval. If you want something choice, something out of the
usual and that is not everywhere common, it will interest you to look carefully over
this catalog. If you have friends whom you know love flowers you can do them a
great favor by telling them of our beautiful Gladioli, or send us their address, for
which we will thank you, and we will send them our catalog.
The Gladioli described in this catalog are all of our own production, and
very different, especially the ruffled varieties, from any other strains.. These are
now eagerly sought by plant-breeders and Gladiolus specialists, as well as other
admirers of beautiful flowers from all over the world.
As the originator of The Ruffled Gladiolus (and many others), it is a special
pleasure this season to again be able to offer our customers and friends many new
and beautiful kinds for their 1921 gardens.
Each coming year we shall offer additional new varieties, at least equally
distinct and beautiful, to meet the requirements of the most discriminating lover
of the Gladiolus. By this method you will be able to add, from year to year,
something new, something grand, and which is not everywhere plentifully common.
We are also offering an entirely new race of Giant Fall Blooming Gladioli (see
pages 4 and 5) in both the plain and ruffled petals.
In making these selections our judgment is based on exhaustive studies and
comparative trials of millions of new seedlings of our own, as well as the very best
of other strains from all sources, for more than thirty years. How well we have
succeeded can be seen in the fact that one of our varieties, "Mrs. Frank Pendleton",
is now generally conceded to be the most magnificent of all Gladiolus. Another
of our productions, 'Mrs. Dr. Norton" (offered on page 22)., easily won first honors
for the best new variety shown before The American Gladiolus Society the last six
years, in competition with the best productions from the world's leading originators.
I am well aware that many new varieties are constantly being introduced (far
too many) ; it is therefore my sincerest endeavor to offer only such new kinds,
from year to year, as are of distinct appearance and highest quality. Every variety
offered by me must be clearly different from any other. Descriptions are necessarily brief and do not near do the varieties justice. Our varieties are unusually
prolific in increase, and, as we offer many new ones when yet in small supply, the
first cost (which may sometimes seem rather high) is in fact very moderate. We
offer many fine testimonials throughout this book, which, if you will read, will
satisfy the most critical of the truth of my strongest claims.
